Wine is still primary but in wonderful balance. Tannins have softened and the fruit and oak are in check. Very extracted dark purple color. Sweet bing cherry cola and sweet nose. More cherry on the palate with a long finish.

served from a 6L bottle. Very plummy and lush. Good structure and grip. Much better than the 6L from 2001 that I served that was corked.

A 6L bottle corked. Words cannot express the level of frustration of a great wine that never was.........
